The DNC has picked five Republican targets for a radio campaign attacking lawmakers for opposing the health care bill and supporting its repeal. On that hit list, according to a Democratic strategist: Illinois Rep. Mark Kirk, Pennsylvania Rep. Jim Gerlach, Washington Rep. Dave Reichert, Delaware Rep. Mike Castle and Louisiana Rep. Joseph Cao. Two of those targets — Kirk and Castle — are running for Senate this year.

Democrats will be targeting five more, as-yet unidentified Republicans with ads, and running 30-second TV spots in 25 Democratic districts thanking members for supporting health care reform. Those Democrats are still being chosen, but the list is likely to include North Carolina Rep. Bob Etheridge, Virginia Reps. Tom Perriello and Gerry Connolly, Iowa Rep. Leonard Boswell and Colorado Rep. Betsy Markey. The strategist described this wave of ads as a sign of the party's confidence that the health care vote will turn out to be a political plus — Democrats clearly aren't trying to change the subject — and POLITICO's Ben Smith reported that the whole campaign will be in the "significant seven figures."

The more that comes to light about the bill, the more people know they've been had.

The Independents are NOT going with the planned surge of false reporting and ads.

They sold this and people are NOT liking the backroom deals, the exempted cronies, the corrupt Unions and the taxes.

The whole process, tainted and painted the Democratic party.

There's nowhere to hide, even with people who gain in the near, are angry, about many other things this government has taken over.

Nice shiny ads declaring how great thou are will NOT help any, than those already onboard.

The Democrats did that to themselves when they shut OUT the Republicans on the entire process for a year and gave a brushoff meeting on C-SPAN, only because Obama said he would, and knew he had to cave to that ONE thing.

This could have been great for America.

Instead it was another "deal".

Personally I know a few hundred people that voted FOR Obama with all that cheery "change" message.
